Why a 4300MHz Pentium 4 seems to chug along at 10MHz
But some Max Payne 2 programmers and software engineers sent us a very rational solution.
And it seems that the humble 32-bit operating system has its limits and struggles to show more than approximately 4.295 GHz or, to more precise, int value = 2^32, or 4294967296.
To put it simply, once you pass 4.295GHz, Windows starts counting from zero again. So this is a Windows issue rather then Intel's or Sandra's, or Futuremark's.
Whether Service pack 2 is going to fix this remains to be seen but we guess that Windows 64-bit edition would show this properly. Still, a humble P4 won't exactly work on this platform. Athlon is still far away from this number even it is 64-bit capable. ยต
